Ceramic materials have been extensively used as armour materials for nearly 50 years and
continue to attract great interest in the field of defense technology. As confinement is crucial …

This article presents a computational constitutive model for glass subjected to large strains,
high strain rates and high pressures. The model has similarities to a previously developed …

Updated throughout for the new edition, Armour: Materials, Theory, and Design covers
extant and emergent protection technologies driving advances in armour systems. Covering …

The purpose of this review is to introduce the interested reader to the literature on the use of
silica glasses in ballistic applications. These applications include optically transparent …

A novel methodology based on instrumented indentation is developed to determine the
mechanical properties of amorphous materials which present cohesive-frictional behaviour …

Dynamic compressive behavior of dry quartz sand (Quikrete# 1961 sand quarried in
Pensacola, FL) under confinement was characterized using a modified long split Hopkinson …

The successful process of amalgamating both the time-resolved imaging capabilities
present at the Advanced Photon Source beamline 32ID-B and the proficiency of high-rate …

In this research, the dynamic response and energy absorption characteristics of four different
types of commercially available glass have been investigated experimentally. Soda lime …

Compared to the experimental studies, numerical studies on scratch test have been limited
due to the difficulty of numerical modeling. Here, we experimentally investigate the scratch …

Bird strike can cause serious risks to the safety of air travel. In this paper, the aim is to
improve design by determining deformation and damage mechanisms of laminated glass …
